We must continue to foster safe spaces to carry on the work. Still, today is a sad reminder that this will only get more and more difficult.

The cancellation of RightsCon is a huge attack on civic spaces. It bothers authoritarians that we speak about them freely. It’s annoying to see our research and reporting, and to have human rights defenders getting together in solidarity.

One more step towards information control. Unfortunately, we need to *always* expect the worst from companies in our current enshittified information ecosystem.

Do ombudsmen still exist? Are there any newsrooms that still employ ombudsmen? Do any local newsrooms (from any country) have an active ombudsman? Any leads are much appreciated! (This is not for a study (yet?), I'm curious)

A palavra "narrativa" nem existe mais, olha que loucura? Estão chamando um crime de narrativa, estão comunicando diariamente a população que a realidade é uma questão de narrativa! Para a mídia de elite, a extrema-direita é "criativa" e a esquerda não sabe se comunicar com o "povo".

O fato de Porto Alegre ter aprovado o “Escola sem Partido” é mais que um retrocesso, é a institucionalização da mentira, da perseguição e da intolerância nas escolas. Espero que Ministério Público se pronuncie logo.

Turning off all the AI capabilities in Zoom, Office Suite, etc. I cannot stress enough the urgency of keeping our conversations and work as private as possible in the current context.

Agradeço pela coragem da @vmbarbara.bsky.social em relatar os abusos que viveu no último episódio da @radionovelo.com.br. Se o mundo fosse justo, esses homens não teriam posições de poder. Mas o patriarcado reforça as estruturas sociais das quais eles se beneficiam e continuarão se beneficiando.

6. Finally, one of our most recent projects looked at Data Governance from different contexts. One of them was Sudan. We tried to understand what happens with people's data and their access to it during conflict and war. globalvoices.org/2024/08/20/s...

5. I think the myth of the "good colonizer" is not exclusive as a narrative from Portugal, but seeing how this colonial idea is enforced among new authoritarian and racist voices was very revealing. globalvoices.org/2023/10/31/u...

Undertones: Portugal and the myth of the good colonizer
In the 1950s, Portugal's dictatorship overhauled the country's national identity and embraced the theory of the good colonizer. What traces are left of that narrative today?

4. From the Unfreedom Monitor, an amazing project focusing on digital authoritarianism, the coverage on #Myanmar revealed so much about how repression and weaponization of technology amidst a military dictatorship: globalvoices.org/2023/04/05/t...

Social media platforms have an oversized influence on political events such as elections, and they have a responsibility to advance democracy.

2. We did a loooong investigation on narratives about Chinese international relations, esp regarding the BRI. This one in particular is from 2021, but also helps to understand the surveillance state in Venezuela: globalvoices.org/2021/09/28/i...

Is China exporting its surveillance state to Venezuela?
One of the largest Chinese defense companies has been pointed out for providing the Venezuelan government software to block access to the Internet and to spy on its detractors.

A few highlights from the Observatory: 1. From Ethiopia, this analysis explained how an army of social media personalities stoke inflammatory content globalvoices.org/2020/05/25/c...

How identity-driven conflicts fuel Ethiopia's incendiary social media rhetoric
Unity Park aimed to tell the story of all Ethiopians and celebrate the country’s diversity. But social media revealed politicized, nationalistic reactions along ethnic lines: Amhara and Oromo.

The Observatory combines research and reporting to bring clarity over very complex themes and trends. It is a methodology I personally apply to my daily life, especially as information ecosystems (news mediums, social media, etc) become more chaotic. I invite you all to get to know it!

Oi mundo :) I thought my first post here should be about a project I'm really proud of: the Civic Media Observatory.
